MILWAUKEE – Cubs manager Criag Counsell expanded on his position Wednesday regarding a controversial balk call the night before.
“The balk has been a confusing rule in this league for a while now,” he said. “There have been suggestions that the league is going to call it more carefully, then they haven’t. It’s a rule with wide degrees of interpretation. And that’s what makes it confusing for players. And because there’s so much interpretation umpire to umpire, there’s a lot of variance in how it’s called. And that makes it difficult.
